THE BEST NATIVE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS
WHAT IS THE BEST NATIVE ADVERTISING
CAMPAIGN OF ALL TIME?
WE BELIEVE THAT THE BEST
NATIVE CAMPAIGNS ARE
ROOTED IN TRUTH
WHAT DOES THE ONION KNOW ABOUT THE TRUTH?
WE ARE IN THE TRUTH BUSINESS
TRUTH THROUGH
NEWS SATIRE
“The Onion: the only humor
publication that matters.”
- The New Yorker
America’s Finest News Source
TRUTH THROUGH SATIRIZING
INTERNET CULTURE
“The parody of the internet 

[has become]
the best thing on it”
- Slate
TRUTH THROUGH
AUTHENTICITY IN ADVERTISING
Combining the world’s most
talented comedians and pretty
decent marketers to create
content for brands
Satire is the use of exaggeration, analogy,
ridicule, irony, and other tools of humor to
expose truths. And truth is at the heart of
what The Onion does.
WHAT DOES THE ONION DO?
Recession-Plagued Nation 

Demands New Bubble To Invest In
(NEW POPE STUFF HERE)
ONION NEWS
Increasing Number Of Men
Pressured To Accept Realistic
Standards Of Female Beauty
ONION NEWS
Congress Fiercely Divided Over
Completely Blank Bill That Says
And Does Nothing
On a macro level, we point out the faults
in our culture, our government, and our
religions by mining the news of the day
and the current mood of the national
conversation.
ONION NEWS
ONION NEWS
THE TRUTH CAN BE OFF-PUTTING, SAD,
OR UNCOMFORTABLE—OR IT CAN BE WARM,
REVERENT, AND CATHARTIC.
On an individual level, we seek the truth
within ourselves. We delve into individuals’
neuroses and worries, the social
conventions of daily life, and the overall
human experience.
Obnoxious Friend Won't Stop
Attaining Major Life Milestones
Area Man Makes It Through Day
ONION NEWS
Report: Only 20 Minutes Until
Introverted Man Gets To Leave Party
30-Year-Old Married, Pregnant Law
School Grad Needs To Slow It Down
ONION NEWS
ONION NEWS
SATIRE ELICITS A RESPONSE
BY EXPOSING THE TRUTH
SO WHY AM I HERE TALKING
AT WHATEVER THIS THING IS?
TO TELL YOU THAT THE BEST NATIVE
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS ARE ABOUT TRUTH
WE BELIEVE THAT THE BEST
NATIVE CAMPAIGNS:
!
1. START WITH THE TRUTH
2. STAY TRUE TO THE AUDIENCE
3. STAY TRUE TO THE VOICE
START WITH THE TRUTH
SPONSORED CONTENT
!
Our writers start with an insight
about a human truth.
If the joke lacks depth,
the content doesn't work.
Insight / Truth:
The holiday season involves hanging around
a lot of interesting characters. You’ll need
different drinks to help you survive them.
STAY TRUE TO THE AUDIENCE
SPONSORED CONTENT
This directly pushes a brands campaign
message on the audience and comes off
as disingenuous.
Don't talk down to the Audience, they
know its an advertisement.
When you can, make the brand
part of the joke, this always plays
incredibly well.
STAY TRUE TO YOUR BRAND
SPONSORED CONTENT
It lets The Onion’s characteristic
humor shine in an edgy way and
It’s Challenging
AND WHEN ADVERTISERS ABIDE BY THE RULES OF THE ONION,
THEY GET THE CACHET THAT COMES WITH BEING IN ON THE JOKE
AND RESPECTED BY OUR AUDIENCE.
1. START WITH THE TRUTH
2. STAY TRUE TO YOUR AUDIENCE
3. STAY TRUE TO YOUR VOICE
THANKS TO THOSE OF YOU

THAT WERE NOT ON YOUR
PHONES THE ENTIRE TIME
SPONSORED CONTENT
